"A friend of mine who had been suffering from this same kind of trouble, told me that Tanlac was the only thing that had ever done him any good, and advised me to give it a trial. Well, to make a long story short, I have just finished my sixth bottle of Tanlac, and I am as free from suffering in every way, and am well and strong as I ever was in my life. 1 weighed one hundred ana thirty-five pounds now, which means that I have gotten back all I lost in weight, I have regained all my strength and can do as much work as 1 could fifteen 'years ago. All thar soreness and stiffness has gone from my arms and 1 can raise my hands about my head without the least trouble. Yes, sir, Tanlac has been @ godsend to me, and I never lose an opportunity to recommend it to oth- ers. I am buying another bottle to take home with me to-day, for I nev- er egpect to be without it."

Among the number thus saved were and two daughters; and also Mrs. Ja- cob Baughman, a son Henry of ten. der age, and two daughters. The Baughman-Ferril fight, or massa €re, occurred in the fall of 1779. John Ferril, then fourteen years old, who had escaped, swore an oath of re- venge on his rifle. and his rifle became a bloody ome in the Indian wars of Kentueky. In the Boone Lick region of Mis- sour, now Howard county, in 1812, were built several forts for protection against Indians, especially the Sacs and Foxes and the Pottawatomiex.
